Miller purchased a small dairy business, paying $125 for the route, cans, wagon and a set of single harness. Fifteen gallons of milk were sold daily on this route. The famous old stone milk house, center of the business, was located in Benscreek near the present site of the Grand School Building, a few hundred yards from the site of the modern Miller Dairy plant. At first the founder had milk shipped in from Somerset County. Then he started to build up a herd of his own cattle, and in a few years produced all the milk he sold. Refrigeration was furnished by cold spring water, which still flows at the old location. Ice was cut from the river and stored for use on the route in hot summer weather. Business started to row form the beginning, and soon a two horse wagon *was* needed. Robert E. Miller purchased the business from his father in 1912 and conducted it along the same lines for a few years until continuous growth made larger quarters necessary. A new plant was built, modern machinery was installed and pasteurized products were made available to the public in bottles. About a year later motorized deliveries were begun by three trucks. In March of 1929 expansion again necessitated larger quarters and the building at the present location was remodeled and new and larger capacity machinery was installed. Manufacture and sale of ice cream also was started. The death of S. K. Miller occurred in June, 1933. The Miller fleet in recent years has been increased to 26 trucks delivering milk and ice cream. From November 1941 to July 1, 1942, $35,000 worth of new machinery had been installed.
